Beautiful Stay

Review of Emperial Suites
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 9, 2019via mobile
First of all the house is beautiful. There’s a lot of space, an amazing view and our room had just the right size. During our stay here there were freshly baked bagels and cookies basically every morning for the guests.
We liked it so much that we even decided to stay longer. The Staff is super friendly and they try the most to help you with problems and questions.
You get a lot for the money you pay.
I would always come back.
Concerning the location of the house you need to have a car. There are no sidewalks and the next bus station is at least 25min of walking away.

Overall we had mixed feelings about our stay here. First, if you do not rent a car, you will have to taxi to shopping/dinner. There is nothing in walking distance and you are on the side of a mountain. The Capilana Suspension Bridge and Park was within a reasonable taxi ride. We were in the basement/garden quad room, along with three other basement rooms, which was too many people sharing one bathroom. Cleanliness could not be maintained as a result. I was told the room was suitable for four adults, but that was a stretch. The doors to the room were french doors and did not keep out the noise or light from the bathroom. The view and main kitchen/living areas were attractive, but the kitchen showed the wear/use of multiple residents using it. Stove was greasy, dishes were not put away, countertops needed cleaning. The bagels and chocolate chip cookies, coffee and fruit that were provided were a very nice addition.

This property has rooms with shared bathrooms, and is immaculately kept. One of the first things you notice is how quiet it is. Guests are quiet and respectful, there is a roomy kitchen to cook in, and a great dining area that overlooks the harbor. Rooms are spacious, and it is a wonderful place to get away from it all.

The views were absolutely beautiful. We had the nicest place here, with a large deck off the room with breathtaking views of the ocean. Located right beside the creek, you could hear the water running. Very peaceful. The house is absolutely beautiful, clean and warm. This is a house that has been turned into a bed and breakfast style place. There are roughly 9 rooms, with a shared entrance, some rooms have shared bathrooms (ours did not... it had a massive bathroom with shower, double sink, and a large soacker tub with views of the ocean). There is a enormous shared kitchen and dinning room, and a living room, and decks. They provide bagels, condiments, 2 large fridges, so you can make and bring your own food, along with coffee, tea, etc. Guests sometimes leave food to share with others as well. When we were there, there was another family, 2 businessmen, tourists, and someone staying until they got their own place. So you can chose to mingle and socialize, or stay to yourself. We enjoyed both. My teens got to meet a retired sergeant and talk with him, which they enjoyed, as they are in cadets and love to talk to veterans. The property manager was wonderful. She even let us use the laundry facilities. She is warm, available when need be, and very supportive. I heard her offer to drive a guest to his medical appointment in Vancouver if he did not have a ride! The place smells nice and clean (but not the disinfectant clean smell), the towels are super soft, beds comfy, comforter and pillows super comfortable (with 1 more firm and one more soft). It was 12min away from downtown North Vancouver, and there is free parking (4 can fit in the driveway, and 3 offstreet).

Our room, located on the 2nd floor, at the end of a hallway, to the right, had two Queen sized beds, tall ceilings, a private large balcony with chairs, a large master bathroom, with a soaker tub, large shower with 2 shower heads, double sinks. Our room had a large master closet. Below our room is the dinning room and kitchen. Beside our room was a shared bathroom, and a closet, with another bedroom across the hallway.

We appreciated no tvs in the room (spectacular view is way better), and the quiet time after 10pm. We did see people in the kitchen, etc, but everyone was quiet and respectful of the quiet time. It was great, as my husband had laser surgery done, and was not hungry until 10:30pm, and I was able to go down and heat up his meal and bring it back up to him.

I would definitely recommend this place, and if we come back, I would like to without our teens, and I would definitely book the suite, as it is totally worth it for the views, and the privacy, and I definitely would like to use the soaker tub, as I did not get a chance this time.

I also like that footwear is taken off... makes for a cleaner place.

I would not recommend this place if you have allergies to fabric softeners, or extremely sensitive to any smells (as there is a light fabric softener smell in the air, and on the bedding and towels). My husband, who cannot go into department stores with perfume sections did not have any problems with it there, as it is not overpowering like that. But I make this note, for those who cannot handle any artificial scents whatsoever In addition, you have people (from diff ethnicities) cooking all types of meals. I personally loved it.

I would recommend window privacy film for the bottom 2 feet of the windows in the bathroom, so at night time the blinds could stay open, and you can feel comfortable looking out the windows without others being able to see in when you used the toilet or bathtub.

I would not recommend this place if you are one who needs to have a tv in a room, and likes to party. It is quiet time in shared areas after 10pm. Once again, we appreciated this, and enjoyed the tranquility. We have electronic devices, so my kids watched a bit of youtube, etc when it was time, but other than that, we enjoyed exploring and having quiet time.

I would not recommend pulling into the driveway and parking closer to the entrance (left side) if your car is low to the ground. I scraped the bottom of my bumper on the right side (where the cement meets the brick driveway, there are two bricks on the far left side that side were an inch or so lower than the others). I had no issue when parking on the far right side.

My teens were a little disappointed the hottub was not yet working, but heard it should be for the summer :)

Note: Not a complete B&B, as the breakfast available is bagels, although there was also instant oatmeal as well. We brought our own food to cook, but my kids enjoyed the bagels as well.

Room tip: I would recommend the Master bedroom. Incredible view, large room with high ceiling, large private bathroom. Amazing room.
